WiFi is a trick created by Satan to tempt you away from the path of Cat5e
and his son Cat6, come back to the light!

For more than one or two machines I suggest this as well. Should be less
expensive as well.

As a bridge. Most wifi routers these days (and all dd-wrt ones) can be used
as a wifi -> ethernet bridge.

So, why not put down one or more fast wireless routers to pick up the
gig-speed wifi ( heck, one per box if you really need all the speed,
more than one when you don't ) -- and not frivolously make gig
wifi-card demands of every box ?

In our office on Broad is a wifi to ethernet bridge that might be useful
you can have.. I'd plug it into a hub/switch out in the floor and hook up
2 or more systems. It's be slow, but work.
Wished I could have made it to the 4th floor, but just got back from a
trip and needed to crash.

I have some (a couple) WiFi cards you can have. They would require some
work to run under Linux. I got 'em like $5 each and when I got 'em I
looked up the chipset and realized that you have to rebuild the kernel
in order to get them to work with linux, so I gave up on them.

Panda wireless usb adapters run about $10 each,
although I think the wireless router with ethernet would be a better idea.

Well most machines up there have wifi.
The 8 or 9 e series gateways I looked at don't.
But I'm thinking the same thing RD.
